evidence to the board showing how
the upper river wheels were ruining
the salmon trade. The upper river
canners recommend the appointment
of Herman A. Webster, of Oregon
City.
A Salem special to the Portland
Journal says: The political rays are
turning on the office of Master Game
Warden. The present holder of the
position, H. G. Van Dusen, isolated,
almost without doubt, to lose his
official head because of alleged par
tiality toward upper Columbia river
fishermen.
"Van Dusen arrived in the city yes
terday, and, under the protection of a
consort of lower Columbia river fish
ermen, who are ready to use their
every effort to have him retained in
his position, went direct to the gover
nor's office to find out 'what was stir
ring.' Van Dusen's retinue consisted
of Ed. Rosenberg, secretary of the
Fishermen's Union of the Pacific; H.
M. Lorntsen and I. J. Kern, all of
Astoria.
"If they thought they would over
whelm the governor and the remain
der of the Board of Fish Commis
sioners into agreeing to retain Van
Dusen, they were mistaken. The
board, which consists of Governor
Chamberlain, Secretary of State Ben
son and State Treasurer Steele, re
fused to hear any arguments until
representatives of the upper river
men could be present Consequently
F. A. Sufert and F. N. Warren were
communicated with, and agreed to
come here today.
"Regarding a successor for Van
Dusen for it is the unanimous opin
ion of the board that he should go
no one has been generally selected,
though Charles Babcock, of Oregon
City, is the strongest candidate at
the present time, he practically being
already endorsed by Treasurer Steele.
This endorsement is more than has
been done by either Chamberlain or
Benson, neither of whom have yet
advanced a name.
"It is the unanimous opinion of the
board that neither an upper or lower
river resident be selected. The fol
lowing names have been handed in to
the board with recommendation for
appointment: J. U. Campbell of Ore
eon Citv: Herman ' A. Webster of
Oregon City; Charles Babcock of
Oregon City; H. C. McAllister of
Portland; W. A. Mack of Portland.
Both Governor Chamberlain and Sec
retary of State Benson remain non
committal, refusing to express their
stand but Treasurer Steele asserts that
he will uphold an Oregon City candi
date against all others, and as Camp
tipll ha retired from the fight in
favor of Babcock, the latter has be
come the strongest for the patronage
of Steele. Campbell desires if Bab
cock be not chosen he still be con
sidered as an applicant. Next to Bab
cock, H. C. McAllister appears to be
the strongest candidate, standing well
in the opinion of Benson. The latter,
however, has not decided upon any
one to succeed Van , Dusen, and
states that he will vote with the re
mainder of the board, if possible, so
as to make the appointment a unani
mous one."
the fiery odds that prevailed.. 1 Both
died in the flame and the body of;
one is yet visible in the smoking and
smouldering ruins, '
The citizens made desperate efforts
to get at the imprisoned men, but
without avail in the face of the fierce
fury of the blase that enveloped the
whole house at once. ,
Details are wanting owing to the
fact that Cathlamet is, of all the
towns on the lower river, the only
one without telephonic and telegra
phic communication with the outside
world; but it is known that the house
cots in the neighborhood of $4000,
and with its furniture and contents,
was good for another $1000, and that
a rrrtain volume of insurance was
carried on it. The neighboring houses
were badly scorched and were only
saevd by the most strenuous efforts
on the part of the citizens.
Astoria is full of sympathy for all
concerned in this loss and tragedy
and if she has had any sort of oppor
tunity, would have sent all the aid in
her power. Full particulars will be
at hand today, and will be published
in the next issue of the Astorian.

SHOOTING SCRAPE IN SOUTH.
AMITE, La., Mar.U.-The stniii-
ed political situation in Louisiana
democratic circles was last night re
sponsible for the killing of Democra
tic State Senator Elect D. S. Kemp
of thin city. He was shot and killed
by C. F. Hyde, a young political and
business leader of this section.
Yesterday the men quarreled about
the recent democratic primary for
Lieutenant governor in which J. J.
Bailey and Paul Lambrcincnt compet
ed with the result that Bailey, the de
feated candidate, filed a protest charg
ing fraud with the democratic state
central committee. Hyde, in discus
sing this controversy, is alleged to
have called Kemp a liar. The friends
of both men considered the incident
trivial and it had apparently forgct
ten until last night when Komp walk
ed into Hyde's place accompanied by
a friend. Hyde was unarmed, Kemp,
still keeping his revolver in sight,
demanded an apology, which was re
fused. Kemp is then alleged to have
slapped Hyde's face. The senator's
friends at this point interfered and
separated the two men who there
upon agreed to meet and fight it out
with revolvers. Senator Kemp then
left and Hyde went into his house
nearby and secured his revolver.
When he came out he shouted to
Kemp to wait for Jiini, .which the
Senator did. The two approached
each other and Hyde opened fire,
two shots fatally wounding the Sen
ator who died within thirty minutes
after the shooting. Hyde was not
injured and witnesses claim that
Kemp did not shoot.
Senator Kemp was a man of mid
dle age and Hyde is 24 years old.
Hyde had not been arrested up to an
early hour to-day.
A severe cold that may develop into

It Is also a protection from the sun.
Without It the sun's rays would be un

THOUSANDS CURED.
Wonderful Succesa of Hyomel
Curing Catarrh, Even in
Chronic Stages.
in
V
Ilyomei is the most unusual remedy
ever known for the curse of catarrh.
It follows nature in her methods of
treating diseases of the respiratory
organs, as its healing balsams are
taken in with the nir you breathe,
thus reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs.
Relief cornea with almost the first
breathe of Hyomei, while lasting and
complete cure follows its faithful use.
There is hardly a town or village in
the whole country where there are
not many who have been cured of
catarrh by this natural treatment In
Astoria T. F, Laurin can tell you of
customers who have been cured of
catarrh by Hyomei, mniiy of them
after they had given up all hope of
even relief.
Be wise in time and use Ilyomei
at the first symptoms of catarrh, Do
nof allow the disease to extend along
the delicate mucous membrane, grad
ually going from the nose to tho
bronchial tubes, and then, onward and
downward until the lungs are reach
ed. Hyomei will cure nil curable
forms and stages of catarrh. T. F.
Laurin takes all the risk of trial and
offers to refund the money for a $1.00
outfit if it fails to cure,
